Criterion Channel price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Criterion's Channel FAQ lists $10.99/month or $99.99/year, including a 7-day free trial. Cancel on CriterionChannel.com: avatar → Subscription → Cancel Subscription, or in the partner store if Apple/Google/Roku/Amazon bills you (Criterion Channel Help: cancel).
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle or trial - you keep access until then. Uninstalling the app does not cancel. Criterion.com shop accounts are separate from Channel billing.
If Cancel Subscription is missing on the web, you are probably billed by Apple, Google, Roku or Amazon - cancel there.
